Ukrainians destroyed a Russian landing ship with a missile
Video Summary
Russia’s warship, the “Orsk”, was hit by a Ukrainian missile in the port of Berdyansk, leaving only one Russian landing craft in the Black Sea. This is a significant blow to the Russian Navy. The US has sent Ukraine Soviet-made S-300 anti-aircraft defense systems, which are still effective despite being old technology. Ukraine has also destroyed several Russian planes and has a high chance of further success with these systems. The US had a secret project worth $100 million to acquire Soviet technology, including S-300 systems, for research. Russia’s military is heavily reliant on foreign parts, particularly Western-made components, which have been seized due to sanctions. The effects of the sanctions on Russia’s military capabilities are becoming more apparent, including the inability to produce or repair tanks, armored vehicles, and military equipment. On the battlefield, Ukraine is pushing back against Russian forces, particularly in the north and east of the country, and has destroyed several Russian jamming and communication stations. Ukraine has also increased the use of tank mines, which are easy to produce and effective in deterring Russian advances. The Russian military’s lack of discipline and corruption is also hindering their efforts.
